-Raises hand- I used to play, a long time ago. Haven't been back much since I've had so many bills to pay, it's not much worth playing without having membership. I'd like to get back to it again though. ^_^

I'm still pretty active around the game, decent combat level too. Lately I've been looking for players to make a clan with (bunch of new clan options in the recent months) so if any of y'all are interested in chilling in game. Just drop me a line here.

I don't even remember what level I am there, but would love to get back with it at some point. If all goes well, I can get membership for a bit, it's no fun playing without it, lol. When I make it back, I'll send ya a message on here with my name there, always good to have more friends. =)

Hehe, it's a bit impossible to rp there unless you stand around in the bank or somewhere safe. Trying to rp on RS would lead to getting totally owned by something when you weren't paying attention. I'm totally getting members back though, there's really nothing for me to do without it, level 92 players can't do anything in free areas. ^_^;

That and the fact that there are two Barrows sets in my bank that are tempting me *_* in fact, 98% of my bank is members only stuff. Tsenta, when I get mems back, we'll have to hang out on there, Ty too if he wants! I know nothing about the newer areas and probably need a guide, I stopped playing way before they upgraded the game, lol. -Remembers the days when they had old RS system and scrying crystal thingys.- (Oh, and the Fally Day Massacre, that was as epic as the party hat thing. *_* )

Besides family dramas and moving, I'm free on my breaks or when I'm finally done moving. Yeah there's a bunch of new stuff, just gotta keep in mind it'll likely be impossible to get any of the old Holiday items short of paying real cash for them (which is against the rules of RS) due to all the 'merchants' buying them up to jack the prices up.

Barrows is still good armor but it's mostly used just for the Def bonuses. Dragon items are next to obsolete now with the god themed items.

I have a lot of the older items stored away in my bank, I kept literally everything when I played, except what I didn't need anymore. Really, it's not worth trying to buy the older stuff anyway, but people consider it rare and some people have a fascination with collecting stuff like that.

Barrow and Dragon armor were the most awesome things ever when I played, so it's kind of depressing to hear that it means so little now. I'm guessing it's not worth near as much as I bought it for either lol. Ah well, I have good levels in most skills, so I can make some money easily if some things still sell well enough. I'll be back on there as soon as I get my bills all paid and things like that taken care of. ($6 isn't much, but it's better to be safe and pay everything first lol.)

I just wish I was playing back when party hats were abundant. The cheapest one now is 1.2 billion gold and a couple of them are over 2 billion. Sell one of those and you pretty much are set for the rest of your days on Runescape.

Yep, my sister and I sold ours years back, when they were still in the range of millions, but that only goes so far when you're buying armors and such. It would have been wise to keep them lol. Ah well, I know plenty of ways to make money without having rare items.

I added you to my friend's list there, but there's not really a lot I can do at the moment, so I won't be on much. This weekend or next week I should be a more present figure there. What level are you there?

I'm 131 in member, 120 someodd in free. The issue with partyhats is even IF you have the gold for them, the merchant kiddies won't take anything less than max gold + another rare in exchange for the partyhat. Long story short, unless you spend real money (a someodd $4,000) to get one, they're impossible to get.

With all the bots, most skill methods are still fine for cash just not as profitable as before. If you're like me and don't care about gold, you'll make more just leveling skills for the exp and selling off the results (catching fish, cooking, using for slayer tasks or selling) Slow gold but the most profit experience-wise.

Yea I know what you mean. Bots and Merchants are sort or wrecking the market. Have you noticed that everything is tanking lately? Bandos has dropped a few million, godswords are dropping now, Dragon Platebody is...everything in general. Abby Whips are 700k. Dragonfire Shields are down to 10mil...it's just insane

Abby whips! I remember when I got mine, it was a birthday gift from my RS friends, lol. It went with me everywhere I went until I got my first barrows set, and then I really thought I was awesome because I had a rare set. ^_^; Mind you, that was a long time ago, and my set means basically nothing now. Bleh, evil game updates.

And you're both higher leveled than I am =x feel like a noob again. Granted, I've been away from the game for...eh...6-7 years, something like that lol. I'll catch up somehow! Rather than just level up for gold though, I tend to alch things after I run a few hundred nat runes. There was one point that I would run bow strings and sell them by the hundreds...that was tedious at best. -shudders- Two hours of running back and forth from the spinning wheel to the bank, not my idea of fun!

(side note, Abby whips haven't changed much in price then, they were 900k-1mil when I left RS, so it's not much of a drop really. And I have no idea what Bandos is o.o )

Bandos armor is currently THE BEST non degradable melee armor. I think essence is less than natures, at least I hope. I have like 30k pure ess banked but I don't wanna have to mine all of it when I run out. Whips USED to be hovering around 4mil/ea before free trade came back out, was a good way to make cash. I'd make 12 - 16mil gold a day just farming whips from abyssal demons.

I don't sell the runes though, I use them for alchemy purposes, lol. Had a whole system worked out one time, but got tired of leveling magic up and stopped. Checked in on my bank, I have over 5k flax and 6k bow strings lol >.< I'm really hoping I can get them sold once I get back to members, or thats a lot of wasted junk to toss out.

If I can get a decent amount for one of my barrows sets, I'm going to sell it and just keep my favorite one. All in all, I'm gonna have to sit down one day and learn all the new stuff and get all the pricing straight in my head so I can start building my gold back up. Silly me kept all my items, but I gave my gold away to my sister because she still played, so I'm kinda broke lol. Shouldn't take me long to make it back though, I can alch all those mage bows in my bank and get some gold back from that.

Ah yes, Abby demons, fun times that. I think my first task when I return fully is to go and PC for old times sake, after that, money making and questing lol. I had almost all of them done and now there's a ton more.

If you cut some yews/mages and fletch logs, then alch, good money. Basically the only way to make decent money is to "merchant", collect assorted resources and refine them (mine x ore, make bars, sell), or do group runs to GodWars and pray you get a good drop.
